Apple Testing Safari 4

Today, Apple announced the release of a public beta of Safari 4 for Windows and Mac. The company said the newest edition of Apple's browser will run JavaScript commands 4.2 times faster than Safari 3, as well as claiming to deliver better JavaScript and HTML page loading than Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla's FireFox 3. Hmmm...we'll see about that.

Apple has integrated the Cover Flow interface found in most of its software into a Web browser. It allows users to scroll backwards through browsing history like flipping through album covers in iTunes. Sounds promising!

The new Safari is available for download at Apple's Safari Web page with both Windows and Mac OS versions ready for testing.
